The two have known each other for about 20 years and met when Price dated a Garnica cousin.

“I always used to just mess with him, you know, because I was older than him. We started hanging out and you know working together at a few different restaurants and we became very good friends,” said Price.

The trip up north to the Payson area was to be an outing for Hector Miguel’s wife, Maria. They brought along their three young kids named Danial, Mia and Emily. Also along on the trip were Maria’s sister, Maribel, Maribel’s daughter Erica, Maria and Maribel’s brother, Javier and the three siblings' mother, Selia Garcia, and Selia’s grandson, Jonathan.

“It’s unbelievable. This family is like a picture perfect family. They’re so close. They’re always doing family functions. I don’t know how they’re going to get past this,” said Price.

Iris said her entire family is up in the Payson area where the search for Hector Miguel’s body is still underway.

“If you knew Miguel, he’s a super dad. His kids meant everything to him. He always promised he would never leave his kids. He has to be found so he can at least be buried and the family can be at somewhat peace,” said Price.

Maria worked at El Encanto in Cave Creek. That restaurant stayed closed on Monday to mourn the unthinkable loss of their co-worker and her family.

Price said he talked with Hector Miguel’s mom Monday morning. She reportedly told him, she is not leaving the Payson area until they find her son and she can take him home.
